Donna DeSimone's Monthly news & Updates


As a Dance Educator & Dance Promoter I would like everyone to know how deeply committed to the health and well-being of all my students and patrons of the Long Island dance community. 

 

IMPORTANT REMINDER

for all dancers arriving for Donna's 8:15pm group and private classes in the Melville location must be in the building before 8pm.

The doors to the building will be on a timer to lock the front doors exactly at 8:00pm because there will be no security guard on duty.

So all students must be in the building before 8:00pm and wait in the downstairs lobby. You may enter the class room when I'm done teaching the 7:00pm group class I will send someone to bring you in.

Sorry for the last minute notice

I apologize for any inconvenience
